I have shot other trucks at this gas station. He changes them every once in a while. This is a really old truck - looks 30's.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Illinois River barge handling facility, Lacon Illinois. This is some of my cheesy eye candy type stuff. Even Lee Friedlander did a little of this Kodak type stuff. Hey, the calendar people need images. :-)
This old rusted tow truck looks like it grabbed a car and got stuck in the field and time!
Used some filters for added interest!
Happy Truck Thursday!
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."
As I searched around my house for things that might be ugli-eautiful, I found some nice old die cast metal cars. At that moment I found my Wabi-sabi thing.
Happy Macro Mondays
If you get stuck in the sand, mud or salt, this wonderful woman and her husband will come drag you out. Just make sure you have a credit card ready.
This tow was 8 miles from a paved road. Far outside AAA and other Roadside assistance programs coverage area.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
No need to comment – Just enjoy :-)
Found this beautiful golden colored tow truck -looks like it could be still in use but parked where it is probably more ornamental.
Happy Truck Thursday!
